Both Akthar and lee took sometime to crack that 155 kmph barrier , which mayank has already crossed.

 

Its just that he should not take much time to reach his peak speeds again else it get hard to reach original speeds. This is what shaheen said we a pushing but the speedometer is not showing those speeds, once the bowler looses that kind of natural speeds its hard to gain it again they can push as much as possible it just does not work.

 

Yes, akhtar's fastest in 99 wc was 154. He made his debut in 96. Even Umran has crossed 155 barrier, both in IPL and international cricket.

Good thing is Umran needed 4 weeks of rest and already had 2 weeks of rest..

he is very hopeful he will play for India once he is fit and wants to win wcup for India..

He si very confident about his swing now..even yorkers and slow balls too..

 

 

Must be tough on him. They just totally abandoned him. U can’t drop a young guy from the international side to no other opportunities anywhere in any team whatsoever.

 

He probably has the least stress while generating pace. I don’t think he’s ever gonna drop pace. Just needs to sort his length and most importantly have confidence in his own self. Be more fearless when the batter is trying to attack. One breakout tournament and I’m sure he’ll be back.

He still bowled as fast as Brett Lee did on his debut at the age of 23. 

 

Jhooth nako.

 

Brett Lee bowled early 150s on his debut.

Akhtar made his debut in 1997.

 

Pakistan was touring SA in 1998 i think and though they didn't show speeds on tv commentators were talking about the speeds of the bowlers.

 

The Durban ground had a speed gun.

 

Both Waqar Younis and Allan Donald were playing that match. So were fanie de Villiers and Klusener.

 

Shoaib was bowling quicker than all of them.

Perhaps Lee and Akhtar were not coming back from injury and a long gap and bowling on such less pace friendly wkt and not in such a format where accuracy becomes more critical..so you cant err slightly bit

Think there is no comparison between some1 bowling 150 kmph in test vs some1 bowling 150 kmph bowling in t20s.

 

Both Akthar and Lee were more prepared for their debut than Mayank, Lee debut against Ind in test bowled 140-150 kmph crossed 150 kmph few time 152 kmph may have fastest.

Akthar was also fast when he debut against wi he was fast but not that fast , and both took some time to crack 155 kmph. Wood only recently started bowling 155 kmph

Had look Bengal squad, very sad to see Ishan Porel being dropped. From being one of the most promising bowlers to not even being picked in the Ranji squad is a disappointing story

Very surprising is Akashdeep is selected for Bengal Ranji Team, but not Mukesh.

Do they know something which we don't.

 

Anyway if Akashdeep continues for NZ and Aus series then Porel might be picked.

Akhtar and Lee both were 23-24 at their debut. Mayank is still 21.

An year or two he will be stronger and will understand his body more.

Next Mukesh will play U19 WC after shaving 5 times a day. 

 

As long as he is out of the Indian team it's ok.

Nothing wrong with the anchor. That's how local anchors are. I feel Umran has gone very mellow. He looks like he is disillusioned with the Indian management. Looks like if he gets one more chance to prove himself, he is going to give it all.

yes he should give his best..he sees how Mayank has been in the news..if he does well..he will also be in the reckoning too..also..it seems selectors wanted him to try in Duleep trophy for BGT..so we cant give poor marks to selectors either..so its just pure bad luck..with the strings of illness..and injuries

To be fair it's our young bowlers who need to take all steps to ensure that they don't break down every now and then.Sad to read that simarjeet singh is not Fully fit
